Frequently Asked Questions
What is an armored fiber optic cable used for?
Armored fiber optic cables protect against physical damage, rodent intrusion, and environmental hazards in outdoor installations, underground runs, and high-traffic areas. The steel armor extends cable lifespan and reduces costly downtime from accidental damage.
Can I use this LC24 fiber cable indoors and outdoors?
Yes, this indoor/outdoor armored cable is rated for both environments. The OFNP jacket ensures fire safety in plenum spaces, while the armor provides weather resistance and mechanical protection for exterior runs.
What does OFNP rating mean for fiber optic cables?
OFNP (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Plenum) certification means the cable jacket is fire-resistant and safe for use in plenum spaces (air handling areas) without conduit, meeting strict building codes and safety standards.
How far can single-mode fiber transmit data?
Single-mode fiber supports long-distance transmission up to 40+ kilometers with minimal signal loss, making it ideal for campus networks, telecommunications infrastructure, and data center interconnects requiring extended reach.
